Do You Know Which Global Brands Pay Dividends?

Do you know which of the 20 most valuable brands in the world pay dividends? Interbrand recently announced their list of the 100 most valuable brands in the world. I thought it would be interesting to view the top 20 in the list and see which ones pay a dividend. After all dividends are the key to successful investing.

Here are the top 20 brands (dividend payers in green):

Apple

Google

Coca-Cola

IBM

Microsoft

GE

McDonald’s

Samsung

Intel

Toyota

Mercedes-Benz

BMW

Cisco

Disney

HP

Gillette

Louis Vuitton

Oracle

Amazon

Honda

18 out of the 20 brands pay dividends currently only Google and Amazon don’t pay dividends, but that may change in the future.

Companies with strong brands can charge higher prices, which mean higher profit margins that result in greater profits for shareholders. One of the many factors that I consider before investing in a stock is one with a strong brand.

Focus on purchasing quality companies (with strong brands) when they are undervalued, and you will do very well for yourself.
